Saint Garrett

WHat happens with the 1,000 tickets that Boro won't be using? WIll the segregation be moved and sold to saints fans?

Only cos of how well he's done. Don't get me wrong, I'm surprised we let him go and club clearly got that one wrong, but maybe he's exceeded all expectations? What was his contract situation ? I'd assume we have sell ons etc...wouldn't have been big enough for us this season regardless.

Trains are going to be rammed...! Only 3 from Sou that get to Preston before KO.

Ok, but (I don't know what your angle is particularly) but from my opinion, if we have Spors/ whoever who manages the transfer window and gets the players in and builds the squad (his words I believe??) then it can't be Still's fault, just like you can't give all the credit to Tonda for the Jan window. Clearly the Jan window was off the back of a dreadful first half of the season, and between them (whoever was involved) they went a different direction. Weirdly, what the fans had been saying all last season and all summer, we needed a proper keeper, and we needed a proper CF to replace Che Adams, they finally did that wth Larin.

Can see both sides of the coin. I'd probably go "standard" rotation and keep momentum, they get a full weeks recovery after this. Momentum is important. Full backs have pretty much played every game so I'd be tempted to rest both. Peretz Jelert THB Wood Welington Bragg Charles Matsuki Azaz Edozie Stewart

Are people really suggesting the manager signs / sells players? Not sure thats been the case at Southampton for 20 odd years...

Jesus, thats a big shout... youre talking about a decent level prem player for 15 odd years, with goals and assists regularly in his game.

Yeah, agreed. he's a Bednarek type. Good at getting in the way of stuff, but when you need him to be a bit more progressive, we struggle with him there.

It was also a hugely damaged and unbalance, bloated squad.

Noone ever gets all transfers right, lets not kid ourselves. Incomings: Azaz - Jury was out for me, but been hugely important to us since Jan. Now looking like a really good signing. Scienza - Class Fellows - Like him but expected more - not bad business and still very young Jander - Class Downs - Shocker - clearly wasnt signed for this season, but looks a bad one. Expect him to be sold or back out on loan next season Quarshie - Time will tell. don't think he was signed as first choice and isn't Roeslev - Poor signing even when he was fit Peretz - Class Jelert - Fine - though not a good fit for our system despite looking like he has something Larin - Class Long- Backup Romeu - Backup & probably had a positive impact in the dressing room despite his lack of playing time Departures: Matty Fernandes - Think we should have got a bit more for him but still good money Dibling - Money looking very good right now Sulemana / Onuachu / Arma / Bednarek / ABK / Edwards - can't argue with fees we received. Ramsdale - big money for a loan... Sam Amo / Juan - Probably should have got more for them both, but not the end of the world. All in all I think you're giving him a 8 or 9/10 for the last few windows...

Scienza - the catalyst for us being half decent this season. Honourable mentions to Jander and THB. Difficult to not mention impact Peretz has had, but cant give it for half a season performances for me.

I just dont see Azaz coming out unless we don't need to win, he's probably our most important attacking player now. Especially when we don't have an alternative.

Winning this could be really important, Firstly, obviously the off chance of us finishing 2nd but also the mental boost it will give us ahead of the playoffs to beat them. 2 massive games left, and we can rest on Saturday if we dont get the job done on Tuesday. But we'll still wanna finish 3rd or 4th to give us home adv second leg. Wouldn't surprise me to see a few changes, but think it will be pretty much this: Peretz; Bree THB Stephens (if fit) Manning Jander Bragg Matsuki Azaz Scienza Larin

Yeah like all clubs we've all got our tossers sadly. But that just a reflection of society. All I saw was both sets of fans being pretty respectful, with some good banter between them. I was shocked how bad they were though, I always had good respect for their fans as they've always been pretty humble and respectful, whilst also being pretty loud "proper" fans. But it was strange fromthem Saturday, generally heard them once or twice. Not sure if thats because we were so loud for most of the game, or whther they just didn't sing. I know it's a second home for them, and we're "small fry" but I would still expect the ones that turned up to be pretty loud.

Seems a far better player off the bench than starting games. I really like him as a player, but I find him too casual and not "on it" at times. The game passed him by on Tuesday, you can see why he's not forced a first XI spot this season ahead of Downes, Jander and even Bragg...

Quarshie...!

Yeah but Wood is nowhere near as good as Stephens. Only thing is his physicality benefit against Haaland.

Team picks itself for me... Peretz; Bree THB Stephens Welington; Downes Jander; Fellows Azaz Scienza; Stewart... Only question is whether we go to a CM 3 and include Bragg and lose one of Azaz or Fellows.

They're shit, 3-1 Saints.

You could always just message them on instagram / twitter - can't imagine they get huge amounts of messages a day...?

Wonder if they'll be any freebies inside the ground like the league cup final with those scarfs. Will look amazing with yellow & blue scarfs flying...

I think people just also have in mind.. It's a good game to go to - with the bonus of potentially something riding on it New ground probably for plenty (2 years go it was midweek) Last game of the season Players deserve a big following after the 2nd half the season.

Well Ipswich have done worse so far than I predicted so far...couple of draws in teh next two would be good... Think Millwall are a big problem now though as I believe they'll win their remaining games,

Interestingly they seem to have put a load of what I thought were "club wembley" seats now on sale. middle tier.

Sounds good, sure we can help you fill it up with football fans if you give us the name...
